Offer description

The Brazilian company has 21 years of market establishment and has several branches in northeast of Brazil. In the past 15 years it gradually became specialized in the production and selling of healthy, nutritious and energetic beverages and snacks, especially in the commercialization of açaí pulp, its main product. The fruits are received as pulp, which undergo an enrichment process, with the addition of guaraná and honey. It is proper for human consumption in all its stages. Both fruits (açaí and cupuaçu) have a very distinct flavour, usually being sold in small, medium and large bowls. People can also choose to add other ingredients to accompany it, such as: fruits (usually sliced banana, kiwi, strawberry), peanuts, powdered milk, celerac regular, honey or condensed milk. All of this makes it a very unique and healthy experience. It can also be sold in a bowl in which half of it is filled with the enriched açaí and the other half with cupuaçu pulp. The products are rich in vitamins and fibre, and have a number of health benefits including reducing cholesterol and working as antioxidants. The product has been sold in Brazil via franchising and the company is now looking to expand overseas. As a result, they are looking for partners willing to become franchisees, which would include rights over the use of the brand's name, logo, marketing material as well as product supplies. Alternatively, they may be interested in a distribution agreement if a large enough importer can be identified.
